The Rogue (A Gale fan-fiction) •Fairy Tail•

Chapter 1- The Rogue

*Levy's POV*

Crushing the head of another worthless creature under my boots, I advance forward to the next bloodthirsty monster in front of me.

"You're so puny. Heh, that was just luck, little one. Time to die!" He seethes out, saliva seeping out of his mouth in a craze of hunger.

I smirk, amused at the dense headed bastard heading towards me. I swipe my blade in the air in a single motion, watching the blood of my previous opponents, splatter on the concrete.

I step one foot forward and wait for the right moment. As he approaches, I count every step in my head, every emotion that crosses his sunken face and every quick movement he makes. He tries to plunge his dagger into my waist, I sidestep him and with one swing his head is on the floor, his body slowly falling, blood pooling the sticky concrete beneath.

I search the alley for anymore tainted humans before putting my blade back into its sheath and walking through. It's always quiet here, mostly.

I have been alone for most of my life, only remembering the horrific way my parents died. I was only 8 when they came, when they slaughtered my parents. They fought hard but they were outnumbered. I close my eyes trying to forget. Emotions make me weak, but I can't seem to get rid of them. The familiar ache in my chest appears.

~11 years ago~

"Levy, you must leave now!" My father orders as he struggles against two murderous beings.

"Your fathers right, Lev." My mother agrees softly as she pushes one away from her.

I look between my parents and shake my head. My legs trembled as I stood, moving over to our cabinet I pick up the long, sharp blade I was to earn.

"What are you doing?! Get the fuck out of here Levy!" My father barks desperately.

One of the men he had been fighting with suddenly plunged his knife into my fathers arm , while he had turned to me. All it took was to hear his growl of pain.

"Father!!" I screamed out in anger and fear.

I charged at the man, my eyes closed in fear. I felt the blade pierce his skin, pulling it back blood spurt all over my face. I opened my eyes and stepped back, shaking.

My father, was fighting two new men who had charged in shortly after, at a disadvantage with one arm, I knew all too well what was going to happen.

I looked around for my mother but, I could no longer see her. All I heard was her screams, until it went silent.

"Levy, you must run, I beg you." My father rasped out as he turned to cover me. I nodded tears stinging my eyes, I scampered out. The last thing I saw was multiple knives being inserted into my fathers back.

~Present day~

I don't have an exact place to sleep, I'm always on the move. I am known by many compounds that also fight these tainted humans as "The Rogue". Many people see me as an outcast, I am wanted by most compounds, they want to use me at there disposal.

My boots heavily hit the ground as I sense the presence of others. Hiding in the narrow crack of a wall, just big enough for me to fit into, I wait for them to pass.

"Heard anything else about these slaughters of the tainted?" A woman with a Russian accent asks.

I laugh quietly, if they saw me they'd be surprised. My figure and look is very exaggerated as not many people have seen me. They say I'm like an Amazon woman, tall, muscular, long brown hair and striking eyes.

To your disappoint, I am not an Amazon woman. I'm very small, big brown eyes, shoulder length light blue hair and I'm quite slim. Although I don't look it, I do have a lot of strength which, is where I believe the 'Amazon woman' description comes from. I mean, no one expects someone of my size, to take down multiple muscular men.

"It's obviously the Rogue, seeing all this blood just gets me all fired up!" Another voice, this time male answers.

Soon they're too far away to hear and their voices become incoherent mumbles. I take my chances and step out from the crack in the wall.

As soon as I've stepped out, I'm grasped by the back of my leather jacket. I feel the adrenaline rush inside of me and I begin to struggle to reach my blade, my eyes bulging in surprise.

"Not so fast, midget." A deep voice taunts.

I clench my fists in anger, who does this punk think he is?

"Put me down and we'll see how much of a midget I am when I cut you into smithereens just like the rest of those bastards in the alley behind you." I growl out at the unknown man holding me up.

I feel his grip loosen and he drops me. I get up immediately and turn to face him swiftly. My face is serious, focused and ready for battle.

I look up at the tall, muscular man in front of me and for the first time out here on my own, I gulp.

He's 6'3, has long black Raven hair kept out of his eyes by a bandana, crimson red eyes that looked so emotionless and a figure so muscular, I knew in an instant he could crush me. But what would I be if I didn't fight anyway? A coward? Indeed I would.

Composing myself again I smirk up at him. Pulling my blade out of its sheath, I prepare for his attack. Just as I get ready for his blow, I heard him chuckle menacingly.

"I wouldn't fight a pathetic woman like you." He said dismissively.

I was sick of being treated like this by all the people I encounter. I can't let him just walk away!

"Size doesn't mean a thing, you bonehead!" I scream.

He raises his eyebrow at me and opens his mouth to speak but before he can speak we both hear cries and the sound of crazed laughing. Those cannabalistic pricks.

"Stay here, little one." He mutters tiredly before striding off into the direction of the noises.

I can't believe what just happened, my mind was going crazy. Who was this man that put me on edge?

With that thought, I quickly snapped out of it and hurried after him.
